Brief description:
All participants will be assessed to determine their level of fluency prior to enrollment. Language Assessment requests must be emailed to bees@uccs.edu.
Participants who complete the training receive a Certificate of Training Completion that meets federal guidelines.
The Law: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Executive Order 13166 of 1990 mandate that healthcare providers - including private practitioners - receiving Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal funding must provide speakers of limited English "meaningful access" to their services, when those speakers constitute a specified percentage of the demographic. The courts have interpreted "meaningful access" to mean face-to-face interpretation, as well as translation of vital documents. In Colorado, this demographic involves speakers of Spanish.
